Get your Free TRICARE Covered Breast Pump!

If you’re covered by TRICARE and have a qualifying birth event, you’re eligible. A qualifying birth event includes:

• A pregnancy, or
• The legal adoption of an infant, if you plan to personally breastfeed

You can receive your breast pump and related services before or after delivery, based on your needs and timing.

To see which breast pumps are covered through Acelleron, start our order form here. In Step 1, you’ll provide a few quick details. In Step 2, you’ll see all of your fully covered breast pump options. TRICARE offers a generous benefit, which means you’ll have lots of great choices based on what you want your breastfeeding journey to look like.

TRICARE covers a wide range of breast pump supplies to support you throughout your lactation journey, including:

• One breast pump per birth event
• Tubing: One set per birth event
• Bottles, caps, and locking rings: Two replacement bottles with caps/locking rings every 12 months after the birth event
• Milk storage bags: Up to 100 bags every 30 days after the birth event
• Valves and membranes: Up to 12 for each 12-month period following the birth event
• Breast shields/flanges: Two sets (two shields per set) per birth event
• Power adapters: One replacement per birth event (not within 12 months of your pump purchase)

If you need supplies beyond these limits, TRICARE may cover them when your provider confirms they’re medically necessary. Acelleron can help make sure your replacement supplies are handled correctly, so you don’t have to navigate the details on your own.

You can receive your first 100 breast milk storage bags with your breast pump before delivery, starting at 27 weeks of pregnancy. All other replacement supplies are available after your birth event. Breast milk storage bags and the replacement parts are covered for up to three years. The three-year coverage period begins on your child’s birth date or legal adoption date.

A qualifying birth event includes a pregnancy or the legal adoption of an infant if you plan to personally breastfeed.

Get breast milk storage bags sent to you at no cost as long as you’re actively pumping. Just visit our order form and complete the quick form. We’ll verify your insurance and handle the rest so you don’t have to worry about running out.

Yes, TRICARE covers up to six separate outpatient breastfeeding and lactation counseling sessions per birth event. These are in addition to any support you might receive during an inpatient stay, follow‑up OB visit, or well‑child care visit. For these to be covered, the counseling must be:

• Billed using one of the preventive counseling procedure codes,
• The only service provided during the session, and
• Provided by a TRICARE‑authorized provider (like a physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, nurse midwife, or registered nurse).

This means you can get dedicated, one‑on‑one support tailored to your breastfeeding journey — and Tricare pays for it.
